 Cleebronn  is a municipality in the district of Heilbronn in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany.

Cleebronn is in the Zabergäu in the south of the district of Heilbronn, directly in the north of the Stromberg mountain with an elevation of 220 to 260 metres (720 to 850 ft). The landscape is characterized by wine-growing. The symbol of the municipality and even the whole Zabergäu is the Michaelsberg with an elevation of 394 metres (1,293 ft).

Neighbouring towns of Cleebronn are (clockwise from the west): Güglingen, Brackenheim (both in the district of Heilbronn), Bönnigheim and Sachsenheim (both in the district of Ludwigsburg). Cleebronn has combined with Brackenheim to form a joint association of administrations.

Cleebronn includes the villages of Treffentrill and Katharinenplaisir.

Cleebronn was first mentioned documentary in 1279 as Kleberen. In the 13th century there were some possessions of the Principality of Mainz around the Michaelsberg being rent to Cleebronn's Lords of Magenheim.

In the 14th century Württemberg acquired around two thirds of the village as Württembergisch Cleebronn. The other third stayed in possession of the principality as Mainzisch Cleebronn. In 1785 Württemberg acquired this last third but stayed independent. These municipalities staying independent until 1843 had been called Alt-Cleebronn and Neu-Cleebronn until 1811. These two parts were not united until January 1, 1844.
